David Creighton, a former high school English department head, took early retirement to concentrate on writing. His published books include Deeds of Gods and Heroes (Macmillan) and Myths Within (Gage). He has also written travel and op-ed pieces for The Globe and Mail, Books in Canada, and Family Practice. David and his wife, Judy, live in Burlington, Ontario.
David Creighton was the author of several books, including Losing the Empress(Dundurn), about the sinking of the Empress of Ireland, a book that led to his role in Robert Ballard's PBS documentary Lost Liners. He liked to travel luggage-free, staying in offbeat places like Amsterdam's Hotel Brian, but otherwise lived with his wife, Judy, in Burlington, Ontario. David Creighton is deceased.
